About this product
Ready in just 30 seconds, the Philips Series 5000 SteamGlide Plus Steam Iron is built for smooth, reliable performance that tackles everyday ironing with ease. This 2400W iron delivers 45g per minute of continuous steam and an impressive 180g per minute shot of steam to banish stubborn creases from cotton, linen and everything in between. The anti-scratch SteamGlide Plus soleplate glides effortlessly across fabrics whilst standing up to daily use, and the 320mL water tank means you'll get through plenty of garments before needing a refill.
The vertical steam function freshens hanging garments and curtains without taking them down, while the steam tip reaches tricky areas like collars and seams. Variable steam adjusts flow for different fabrics, and the anti-drip system keeps clothes spotless without water marks.

Disappointed with this iron
You have to be really careful how you pour the water into the iron as it goes down very slowly and can easily overflow. The iron does drip water occasionally during use which is really annoying. It randomly stops producing steam even when there's still plenty of water visible in the tank and it hasn't been left standing too long. This means It doesn't remove creases as effectively. It is impossible to empty any unused water out of the tank at the end. There's always some left in the bottom of the tank.

Ironing / the irony !!

I like this iron.
Early days, only used it twice, but it’s very efficient. Heats up quickly, streams all creases out and glides well. No dripping at all. The grip is very good for me. Nice appearance not heavy-looking like some irons. And the weight is perfect.

Not as good as expected!
Bought to replace a Bosch iron which I’ve had years. This leaks water if you put it to maximum steam and the cord is not long enough! Temperature control feels cheap. Not sure if I would recommend.

Works well
Very pleased with my purchase

Great iron
Uses small amounts of water but creates a great steam, it's very light , creases gone after one glide, reaches tempreature quickly! great little iron and worth spending a little bit more than on one that is 25 ! I would recommend this great iron!

Excellent product which exceeded expectations

Just what I needed.
I bought this Phillips item to replace our ageing, cheap iron, after using a similar one in Australia with which I was very impressed. The iron fills with water easily and quickly with a wide mouth - a vast improvement. The weight is neither too light nor too heavy. It heats up quickly and removes creases easily and stubborn creases using the steam booster button. I wouldn't want a heavy iron with a charger unit so this is an ideal piece of equipment for me. It's a little bit sad to enthuse over a piece of domestic equipment but I am pleased that I chose this model.

Hello Gina,
The supplier has advised the following for the Philips Series 5000 SteamGlide Plus DST5030/26 Steam Iron.
For the Philips DST5030 steam iron, you cannot use steam on all temperature settings.
How it works: Steam function only works on medium to high temperature settings. At low temperatures, steam is disabled.
Why: Steam requires enough heat to turn water into a vapor. If the soleplate isn’t hot enough, the iron may:
- Drip water instead of producing steam
- Damage delicate fabrics
Quick guide:
- Low (synthetic fabrics) No steam
- Medium (silk, wool blends) Light steam
- High (cotton, linen) Full steam
Tip: Always wait until the iron fully heats up before using the steam button or continuous steam.
Thank you for using Q&A.
